Don't post in the wrong sections!!

now, you just try for yourlsef - depends on what you need in bt, but I would recommend vbox as it's pretty free and pretty good. if you need advanced networking, virtual networks, teams, booting from usb etc - vmware. that will cost you like, 100 bucks? your choice. vbox is very fast and lightweight, on system resources, too.

I also agree that Virtualbox is a good solution. I've been using Vbox since version 2.0.6.

One thing worth noting, as I didn't see it mentioned earlier in the post, the Open Source Edition (OSE) doesn't allow you to work with your USB. This is only a problem if you want to run wireless devices through your USB interface.

Instead download the PUEL (ie. Personal Use and Evaluation License) version or else go with VMWare.

This is a very interesting coversation. I now plan on installing virtual os's with vulnerabilities and practice on them. I have a usb flash drive with bt4 on it, is this a bad idea on a flash drive? Also does anyone one know where to get a vulnerable windows image that u can use (or should I just use a default install with no patches? ).

this will be interesting. i was previously using another box on my wireless network at home to play with. if I get virtual machines running on my laptop then i can work on the go away from home.
